Weighted function spaces: convolutors, multipliers, and mollifiers

TL;DR
This work develops a mollification-based framework to classify Gelfand–Shilov-type spaces defined via a solid translation-invariant Banach function space $E$ and a weight system $\mathcal{W}$. It introduces the moment-wise decomposition factorization property (MDFP) for pairs of mollifying windows and proves complete characterizations of the spaces and their convolutor and multiplier spaces through mollification, including two-window variants that better suppress low-frequency components. The paper establishes independence results for $E^\infty_{\mathcal{W}}$ under mild weight conditions and provides convolution and multiplication mappings that link these spaces to classical ones, such as Schwartz and Hasumi–Silva, thereby unifying several smooth function spaces under a single mollification-driven theory. The results have implications for PDEs and harmonic analysis by giving precise global-decay/localization control and offering tools to analyze generalized functions via mollified representations.
Abstract
We study smooth function spaces of Gelfand-Shilov type, with global behavior governed through a translation-invariant Banach function space and localized via a weight function system. We clarify the roles of the translation-invariant Banach function space, convolution, and pointwise multiplication in connection with the weight function system. Our primary goal is to characterize these function spaces-as well as the corresponding convolutor and multiplier spaces-through mollification. For this purpose, we introduce the moment-wise decomposition factorization property for pairs of compactly supported smooth functions, and establish complete characterizations in terms of mollifications with these windows.
